WNBC’s Breaking News coverage of the Amtrak power outages was just interrupted by NBC News Breaking Coverage of the Enron verdict.

The anchor interrupted the train official who was giving a phone interview with her about the train stoppage by saying, “Sorry, I have to interrupt you, we have breaking news from the network.”

You don’t see that everyday. I hope someone from Saturday Night Live was watching because I could imagine something similar being a funny sketch, where breaking news keeps breaking in over and over again.

The networks have let us down again. What a disappointing week of upfront presentations.

Besides the annual event of moving great shows into the same time slot against each other — time to get a dual tuner TiVo, I guess — the networks seemingly cancelled almost every new show that was interesting this season.

Let’s take a look and award some blame awards:

Blame NBC… for cancelling The Book of Daniel because of criticism, the virtually guaranteed Dick Wolf show Conviction for no reason, Seth Green’s hilarious Four Kings, the unique robber-centric Heist, and Teachers, even if it was slow to take off.

Blame ABC… for cancelling a new way to present a crime drama in The Evidence, Commander in Chief after totally mis-managing its PR all season long, the engaging and socially moral drama In Justice, and alien drama Invasion after making viewers wonder what the hell was going on all season long.

Blame FOX… for cancelling Arrested Development because they didn’t understand the Bluths, Reunion and it’s promising year-an-episode format, and That ’70s Show after failing to keep Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher and adding that annoying younger brother of SNL’s Seth Myers.

Blame the CW… for cancelling Everwood and bringing 7th Heaven back from the dead.

Thanks for wasting our time, networks.

Cancelling shows struggling in ratings isn’t new or unexpected in the world of television, but this season’s cancellations was simply a massacre of established shows, some with fairly strong followings.

This week is the network upfront presentations, so I created a 2006-07 Fall Television TV Schedule Grid Preview up over at Television.name. I’ll update it each day as networks announce their fall lineups.

I am really disappointed that a half dozen new shows I really enjoyed were cancelled. Conviction, Invasion, The Evidence — all cancelled. They don’t even give shows a chance anymore! More on my cancellation disappointment later.

I’ve owned that domain for quite some time and never could figure out what to do with it. So, for now, enjoy the Fall TV Preview.

UPDATE: The Fall TV Preview has been updated to include all the schedules included at the networks’ upfronts.

Michael Bloomberg is a male dwarf hamster.

At least that’s what it says on pet adoption site PetFinder.com:

Michael Bloomberg came to the NYHH in October 2005 along with his brother Jackson and their now-deceased brother, Prince. They had been neglected and their old owner had been keeping them in a bucket! But, now they have grown and blossomed and are super energetic and adorable white dwarf hamsters. They used to live together, but they fought too much and so they now each own their own co-op. Michael Bloomberg enjoys non-smoking establishments and the number 6 subway, as well as running in his exercise ball. He likes to sleep a lot! […]

If you are looking to adopt Michael Bloomberg, please fill out the application form here or email hamsters@thejessicawells.com with questions. […]Michael Bloomberg is waiting to go to a good, forever home… maybe yours?

I always knew Bloomberg reminded me of some sort of furry rodent. Who knew he was a male dwarf hamster?

So please, adopt Michael Bloomberg from the New York Hamster House at 212-569-5901.

I’m all for flyers for cool shows with talented performers like Marissa Levy and Liz Clark, but who chose the photos for this flyer?

I mean, really, I’m seriously afraid of those photos on the flyer. And somebody get Marissa a tan!

So now we know what Britney’s been doing instead of touring lately.

Britney Spears dropped it like it’s hot that she is pregnant again with another spawn of Kevin Federline while appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman Tuesday night.

Britney, who used to be a pop singer some years ago, and K-Fed already have one car-driving baby together.

Alright, enough already! Listen up, celebricouples! We get it, okay. 2006 is the year of the celebrity baby. Gwenneth Paltrow and Chris Martin had a Moses. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had Mission Impossible: III a TomKitten named Suri. Gwen Stefani could pop at any moment. And Brangelina is getting ready for baby touchdown in Namibia.

We get it, celebrities can have babies, too. And so everybody sings: BRIT-NEY’S PREG-NANT, ONE MORE TIME!
